Never Judge

Chapter 255 - 255

After Nicole left Ian in her room he was confused for a while, he didn't understand what he had done wrong. Why was she so mad? He was doing everything he could to make himself acceptable to her family so that they could finally be together.

He was in a trance for a good ten minutes before he finally realized that all his efforts didn't matter if Nicole left him. He loved Nicole, he had never been with anyone before Nicole and he didn't think he could be with anyone else. To him Nicole was it, Nicole was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, the woman he wanted to build a family with, the woman he wanted in his future, without her he had no future.

Ian rushed down in the hopes that she was just in the living room, when he found it empty he asked a maid where their mistress had gone. The maid told him that she had taken her pink sports car and driven away. 

Ian fetched his keys. His car was parked here since he had spent the previous night at Nicole's as well. He drove around the Capital looking for the pink sports car. He hit his steering wheel out of frustration, how hard was it to find a pink sports car! It should have stuck out like a sore thumb. 

When he realized that it would take him all night to find the car he took out his phone and called someone. The person on the other end of the line got all the details and told him to wait five minutes. Ian parked his car at the side of the street and took out a cigarette. After a few puffs he threw it on the ground and stepped on it. He tried calling Nicole's phone, but as expected she didn't pick up.

After exactly five minutes the person he had called earlier called him back.

"She's at an underground bar. The one where Katerina Sebastian caused quite a stir at last time." The person told Ian.

"Thanks, I owe you another one man." Ian said, he was quite close to the person he was talking to.

"No worries. Just don't forget about me when you're rich again." The person teased as he dropped the call.

Ian quickly called Nicole's head bodyguard. He was a young man and was aware of the relationship between Ian and Nicole. Ian was worried that Nicole had gotten herself into trouble so he decided it was best to bring back up.

By the time Ian got to the bar, the bodyguards had arrived as well. He spotted Nicole's pink sports car parked at the entrance, he was now 100% sure that she was inside.

"We'll follow your lead." The head bodyguard said as they approached Ian.

Ian simply nodded at them and marched into the bar. He looked around trying to find his girlfriend. His first instinct was to look at the people seated on stools by the bar, he scanned every face and was disappointed that she wasn't among them. He signaled for the body guards to look at each of the private tables and couches. 

As he and the head bodyguard made their rounds he heard Nicole's voice.

"Lucas, N-" Ian immediately reacted when he heard that the voice was muffled, he searched in the general direction that he heard Nicole. It was quite dark and hard to figure out which table Nicole was in.

Ian finally found the right one and he saw a man placing his hand up Nicole's skirt. Ian immediately became furious and tore the other man off of Nicole and punched him multiple times until his nose bled.

He handed the man over to Nicole's bodyguards and went over to his sobbing girlfriend. He pulled Nicole into his arms in an attempt to comfort her, Nicole cried and tried to push him away.

"Nicole it's me, you're safe now. I'm sorry Nic. I'm so sorry. I love you." Ian whispered as he held her in his arms.

"Take me away from here, please." Nicole cried.

Ian nodded and carried her out of the bar. 

"Your keys?" Ian asked.

"Bag." Came her short answer as she buried her head in his chest.

Ian first placed Nicole in the passenger seat of his car and checked her, when he was sure that there were no injuries he hugged her again. 

"I'm sorry Nic. I'm here for you now." He said as he kissed her forehead. "Stay here. I'll make sure everything is settled." Ian told her as he placed a gentle kiss on her hands.

He got her bag and fished out her keys. He called a bodyguard over to keep Nicole company and marched over to the head bodyguard to give instructions.

"Take her car home. As for that man, ask Miguel or Eric. They have more right to decide what to do with him." Ian said.

"Sir, I have Doctor Miguel on the phone, he wants to speak to you." The bodyguard said as he handed his phone over to Ian.

"What the hell Ian!" Miguel shouted over the phone. "You're supposed to be f**king taking care of my little sister! How did Lucas get to her?!" Miguel was furious.

"We had a fight. She ran off to a bar. It's not her fault, it's mine. I'll fix this." Ian said calmly.

"You better. Give the phone back to the bodyguard, I'll tell him how to deal with Lucas." Miguel said. Ian did as he asked and gave the phone back before leaving. 

By the time he got back to his car, Nicole was already asleep. Ian caressed her face and placed a kiss on her cheek before driving them home.

He couldn't bear to leave her that night, so he placed her on her bed and climbed in next to her, spooning her from behind. 

"Nicole, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have let you storm out." Ian whispered to his sleeping girlfriend.

At first he couldn't sleep so he kept apologizing to her, eventually sleep came and hugged Nicole tightly.

Nicole was not only tired from the night before, she was also traumatized and drunk, so she spent the better part of the morning sleeping in Ian's arms. She woke up for a bit but felt too tired to get up.

After another hour she was finally well enough to get up. She suddenly remembered the previous night and pushed Ian off of her bed waking him.

"Nicole, you're up honey." Ian said with a smile on his face.

"I'm mad at you!" Nicole shouted.

"Nic, how are you feeling? I'm so sorry. Do you want to talk about it?" Ian asked as he approached her on bended knees.

"No! Out of my room!" Nicole shouted.

"Nic, don't push me away please. I love you." Ian continued to beg.
